The sculpture notebook · curled grub study

One curl.
Four futures.

A segmented curve from Mattea’s drawing becomes four separate prototype paths: game reference, display figure, carried keychain and tabletop mini.

Original segmented curled grub artwork by twikoi — Native ink, RGB and reviewed alpha preserved.

02 · Actual inferred geometry

Digital display render. Artist and physical validation pending.

The curl is recognizable.
The surface needs a sculptor.

The pose and segment marks follow the drawing. Surface hatching is coarse, and the unseen back carries inferred marks that need Mattea’s direction. This remains an unfinished dimensional study.

Actual generated grub front with coarse segment marks — Raw front · recognizable curve, unfinished detail.

Actual inferred grub back with unapproved marks — Inferred reverse · artist-guided refinement pending.

Four destinations. Separate files.

All 62,424 triangles and generated vertex colors remain in the unrigged game reference. The print master retains the complete single closed body; no disconnected component or zero-area face was dropped. The display is about 150.2 mm high. The keychain is about 53.5 mm high, with the body depth compressed to 12 mm and a rear attachment. The standing mini is about 32.19 mm high on a nominal 25 mm circular base.

Actual print STLs pass independent single-part closure, winding, positive-volume and nonzero-face checks. Fine details, support stems, ring fit, sliced layers and strength remain pending. Every shown view is a digital render; physical product photos await supervised samples.

A loop with measured openings.

The keychain uses exact unions on the closed master. Its rear post connects near 70% of body height. Five parallel opening sections preserve about 5 mm of space. These measurements do not establish minimum junction thickness, pull/drop strength or real ring fit.

Display: 1/512 chords below the editable 1.6 mm review assumption.
Keychain: 198/512 chords below the editable 2.4 mm review assumption.
Mini: 82/512 chords below the editable 1.6 mm review assumption.

The CPU review used 1,536 actual-STL chords, 256 box calibration rays and 96 independent full-mesh comparisons, which agree. Chords locate review targets; they do not certify minimum walls, self intersections or printability. Actual nozzle, material, sliced layers and artist likeness must guide refinement.
